Chairman McClcllan (D-Ark)
put this accusation into the hear-
ing record. He said it marked the
completion of "this phase" of an
investigation which covered 16
days of public hearings.
Frank W. Brewster, chairman
of the Western Conference of
Teamsters, was on the witness
stand the last five days. He was
the last witness.
Brewster testified his handling
of union funds was not good.
Denies Muscle-in Knowledge
But he denied vigorously and
repeatedly that he had any knowl
edge of, or any part in, an al
leged attempt by some Teamsters
officials to muscle in on rack
ets profits in Portland, Ore.
The committee plans as its next
move to question Dave Beck.
globe trotting international presi
dent of the Teamsters Union, in a
showdown public hearing Tues
day. Friday, along with testimony
from Brewster, the senators heard
a staff investigator testify he
found nothing in the union's rec
ords to reflect loans to Beck until
1054 when he said the Internal
Revenue Service began Investi
gating Beck's affairs. ,
Carmine Bcllino, a staff account
ant for the committee, gave the
testimony to the senators.
' $250,000 Zoom
Bellino said reports to the gov
ernment, by the Seattle Teamsters'
Joint Council's building associa
tion showed accounts receivable at
the end of 1953 as $7,422.8!) but
the next annual statement showed
accounts receivable of $257,422.89.
Bellino said this was the first
notation he could find in Team.
sters organization accounts
fleeting anything about loans to
Beck.
Bellino said Internal Revenue
started investigating Beck's af
fairs in January 1954 and inter
viewed him in March that year.
The staff accountant said the
union building association's cash
receipts book ' then reflected a
$200,000 repayment from Beck in
August. 1954 and a later $50,000
payment.
Bellino testified after Brewster
testified he had no knowledge of
any loans by the Western Confer
ence to Beck.
Would Oppose Beck
And, he said, "I would disap
prove" if Beck borrowed several
thousand dollars of union funds
without interest or security.
Beck has said publicly that he
did borrow but has since repaid
$300,000 to $400,000 o( union mon
ey without paying interest or of
fering security.
Brewster said he regularly paid
interest and provided security for
his own loans from the union.
He said he saw nothing wrong
in union officials borrowing from
union funds if interest was paid
and security provided.
"How long." asked McClellan.
"has this practice of officials bor
rowing money from union dues
money been going on?
"I guess it's been going on for
some time. Brewster said,
Asked if he thought It was wrong
Brewster said no, not If interest
was paid and security provided.
as he said was done in his case.
Brewster said he himself had
borrowed $80,000 to $90,000 and
had paid interest on it

Move for Study
On Teen Crime
By JAMES D. OLSON
Capital Journal Writer
A state-wide investigation of ju
venile delinquency by a legislative
interim committee was recom
mended Friday by the Legisla
ture's Joint Ways and Means Com
mittee. A resolution providing for ap
pointment of the committee and
appropriating $25,000 to cover the
cost of the probe was introduced
by Sen. Howard Belton (R), Can
by, at the request of the State
Board of Control and a number of
circuit judges in the slate.
One feature of the resolution
provides for determining the possi
bility of municipalities setting up
facilities for care of juvenile of
fenders. The state would share the
cost.
Belton Says Important
Sen. Belton told the committee
that members of the board and the
judges felt a state-wide investi
gation of juvenile crime was ex
tremely important as a means of
reducing the commitments to Mac
Laren School for Boys and Hill
crest School for Girls.
If the resolution wins approval
of the Legislature, the committee
would be composed of two sena
tors, three members of the House
and four members to be appointed
by the governor.
The appointees would include
representatives of the State Board
of Health, State Department of
Public Instruction, Hillcrest and
MacLaren schools and one member

No Injuries or
Big Damage
Indicated
SAN FRANCISCO (UP)
Downtown San Francisco was
rocked by Its sharpest earth
quake since the famed 1906
quake and fire today. Miracu
lously, thero were no reports of
Injuries. Shattered windows, top
pled cornices and spilled can
goods accounted for the "major"
damage.
The quake was so strong, and
the epicenter so near, that it
knocked the needle off its base
and complicated "an accurate"
reading, seismologist Dr. Don To
cher reported at the University of
California in nearby Berkeley.
Hundreds of windows, both in
buildings and homes, were shat
tered. Major buildings in the down
town section of the city reported
fallen plaster' and in some in
stances cracked walls.
Tho famed Palace Hotel report
ed that four plate glass windows
were shattered, showering glass
along sidewalks and into the lob
bies. The Golden Gate Bridge swayed
and shook, with the towers bend
ing like trees in a gale and . the
bridge deck "galloping" up and
down.
A 400-foot stretch of boulevard
bordering Lake Merced toppled in
to tho waters. A long stretch of
tho scenic Coast Highway slipped
into the Pacific and the Highway
Patrol asked the United Press to
call the Coast Guard for a heli
copter to "rescue" any stranded
fisiicrmcn.
The "Top of tho Mark," alop
the Mark Hopkins Hotel on fashion
able Nob Hill swayed like a tree
limb in the wind. Tho plate glass
windows circling tho room Bulged
but withslood the strong temblor
Only two of the early cocktail noon
hour arrivals left tho building, the
remainder stayed lo drink and
talk of the tricks of sly old Mother
Earth.
At the San Francisco zoo, which
borders the Pacific Ocean, the an
imals were stirred. Elephants
trumpted, gibbons whistled, birds
squawked, and the chimpanzees,
like their human brethren,
screamed.
The quake was fell as far north
as Ukiah, some 125 miles north of
San Francisco. It was felt, too,
at Watsonville. nearly 100 miles lo
the south. And it shook the Capi
tol in Sacramento, 110 miles to
the cast.
In Tracy, some 70 miles north
east of San Francisco, the city
hall was condemned. In San Jose,
50 miles southeast of San Fran
cisco, piaster fell from the ceil
ings in the city buildings.
And that was moro or less the
formal for all the cities in he
tween. ,

Planes Search at
Sea in Vain for 67
TOKYO (AP) One of the greatest air-sea searches
the Far East has ever seen is under way for 67 Amer
icans on a U. S. military transport plane which disap
peared Friday just before reaching Japan. :" - -
Moro than 70 planes and about
a dozen Japanese and American
ships were poised to criss-cross
thousands of square miles of the
Pacific Ocean southeast of Japan.
Hope dimmed after tho first
search failed to find tho plane or
survivors in the 120-mile wide cor
ridor stretching 300 miles south
cast of Tokyo where the plane was
believed to have gone down early
Friday.
Heavy Seas Runnlnlg
Thirty-foot swells also hampered
search ships.
Some Japanese aviation experts
speculated the plane might have
crashed on one of a chain of vol
canic islands southeast of Tokyo.
The four-engine C97, military
version of the Boeing Stratocruis
er, left Wake Island yesterday
afternoon for Tokyo on the last leg
of a flight from Travis Air Force
Base near San Francisco, Calif,
The Air Force said 57 passengers
and a crew of 10 were aboard the
plane, with the passengers includ
ing 27 Air Force personnel; 17
Army and 10 Navy men; 2 civilian
government employes, both men;
and a woman military dependent,
presumably tho wito of a service
man stationed in Japan,
One Woman In Crew
Tho crew, which included
least one woman, all were mem.
bcrs of the Air Force. The plane
was operated by the Military Air
Transport Service (MATS).
Tho plane's last reported posi
tion was 200 miles southeast of the
big MATS terminal in Tokyo, at
jz.-jo a.m. uu.'i.i a.m.,
Thursday). The radio report save
no indication or any trouble and
tho piano was expected ,in Tokyo
on schedule, two hours later.
The Air Forco said the plane
had enough fuel for only about 314
hours flying past its scheduled
arrival time.
As soon as the plane was over
due, a sea and air search was
launched in the predawn darkness.
Life rafts aboard tho plane were
equipped with flares and flash
lights and most rafts aboard trans
pacific planes carry emergency
radio transmitters for broadcast
ing SOS signals.
Throughout tho day, however,
monitors picked up no distress
calls.
Would Have Sunk Fast
Ono expert said it the plane did
ditch in .10-foot seas, it almost cer
tainly cracked up and sank quick
ly, possible before lire rafts could
be launched.
Only God could ditch success
fully in seas like that, he said.
Tho C97 was the eighth large
plane to go down In the Far East
since Feb. 22. In the seven previ
oils crashes, 85 persons were listed
dead or missing, Including
President Ramon Mngsaysay of
the Philippines.
Travis Air Base announced the
names of seven men and one
woman in Ihc plane crew, with
holding Ihe name of the other two
crewmen until their families were
notified. Most of tho addresses
given were in towns near Ihc base,
